Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

TSP/DSP showed no mutagenic activity in the regulatory S. typhimurium strains of an Ames test up to the limit concentration of 5000 µg/plate in the presence or absence of mammalian metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria (RBM study No. 970075), strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 of S. typhimurium were exposed to Tristyrenated phenol/Distyrenated phenol (75/25 molar %) in acetone at concentrations of 0, 50, 150, 500, 1500 or 5000 µg/plate in the presence or absence of mammalian metabolic activation (S9 mix). A first assay was conducted using plate incorporation with or without S9 mix. A second assay was conducted using plate incorporation without S9 mix and pre-incubation with S9 mix.

 

TSP/DSP was tested up to the limit concentration of 5000 µg/plate. The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains. There was no evidence of induced mutant colonies over background.

 

Therefore, the test item was considered non mutagenic in a bacterial reverse gene mutation assay.

 

This study is classified as acceptable. It satisfies the requirements for Test Guideline OECD 471 for in vitro mutagenicity (bacterial reverse gene mutation) data.
